Yeah LSP is taking over. I don't think category 1.1 is going to last.

Yeah two of my daughters are very happy with the cameras on their Pixel 3As, enough that they're willing to put up with the badly cracked screens.

Ideally, JS would have been based on S expressions and consistency would naturally flow from the syntax. But that ship has sailed, and occasionally it makes sense to add a new infix operator for succinctness. https://github.com&#

Yes, TypeScript adds features from the ECMAScript standard. Sometimes JS implementations add them around the same time TypeScript adds them. But sometimes TS adds them much earlier. Having been using TS, it surprised me in this article that

> It allows people to write JavaScript following whatever approach suits them This comment really looks like it's a reply to some article other than this one. Realistically, do you think JS programmers are going to form two camps?

To even have hope of getting people to overcome confirmation bias and look at evidence, we need concise and convenient ways of presenting evidence. Fact checking is too much of a chore the way things are now.

Outside of physical force, the way to make someone agree to what you have in mind is to show them how it ties into what they want.

Is the well-documented feature the dependency array or the ability to suppress linter rules? The note at the bottom of the documentation section for the dependency array recommends using the linter rule: https://reactjs.org/

Are you saying that writing code in a way that defends against future mistakes is a waste of time? It's hard to see the content of your comment through the sarcasm.

There is no harm in adding something to the dependency array that you don't expect to ever change. The linter is your friend; make its job easier.

by brlewis 6y ago
That runs the risk of someone less experienced introducing a bug later when a new dependency is introduced. I think it's better to simply do whatever the linter says.

Yes. The author should replace "This is dangerous" with "This is a tiny bit sub-optimal" in the first example. EDIT: "This is dangerous" is also the wrong label for the 2nd example. Should be "This is not

> There is a huge asymmetry between the effort to make an outrageous claim and that to refute one. Asking "Got evidence for that?" is sufficient refutation for baseless claims.

This article is a load of malarkey. Being grumpy and bad-tempered are predispositions toward having negative emotions in more situations than most people would. There are two classes of evidence in the article. The first is evidence that ne

This is analogous to the principle of composition over inheritance. Using is-a relationships (inheritance) is concise and convenient, but sometimes leads to wrong models of the world. It's safer to use has-a relationships (composition)
